«ComboBox» con una entrada

Un ComboBox puede contener un widget Entry para la entrada de texto arbitrario, mediante la especificación de true al parámetro has_entry del constructor.

11.6.1. La columna de texto

So that the Entry can interact with the drop-down list of choices, you must specify which of your model columns is the text column, with set_entry_text_column(). For instance:

m_combo.set_entry_text_column(m_columns.m_col_name);

Cuando seleccione una opción de la lista desplegable, el valor de esta columna se pondrá en el widget Entry.

11.6.2. La entrada

Dado que el usuario puede introducir texto arbitrario, una fila del modelo activa es suficiente para indicar qué texto ha introducido el usuario. Por lo tanto, debe obtener el widget Entry con el método ComboBoxEntry::get_entry() y llamar a get_text() sobre él.

11.6.3. Responder a los cambios

When the user enters arbitrary text, it may not be enough to connect to the changed signal, which is emitted for every typed character. It is not emitted when the user presses the Enter key. Pressing the Enter key or moving the keyboard focus to another widget may signal that the user has finished entering text. To be notified of these events, connect to the Entry's activate and focus_out_event signals, like so

auto entry = m_Combo.get_entry();
if (entry)
{
  // Alternatively you can connect to m_Combo.signal_changed().
  entry->signal_changed().connect(sigc::mem_fun(*this,
    &ExampleWindow::on_entry_changed) );

  entry->signal_activate().connect(sigc::mem_fun(*this,
    &ExampleWindow::on_entry_activate) );

  entry->signal_focus_out_event().connect(sigc::mem_fun(*this,
    &ExampleWindow::on_entry_focus_out_event) );
}
The changed signals of ComboBox and Entry are both emitted for every change. It doesn't matter which one you connect to. But only Entry's focus_out_event signal is useful here.

Los eventos de X se describen con mayor detalle en la sección Señales de eventos de X en el apéndice.
